Pakistan vs Ireland Live Score Updates: ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Match 36

Pakistan vs Ireland will clash in the highly anticipated 36th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida on Sunday, June 16.

Pakistan (Team News)

For Pakistan, a shock defeat to the USA and a loss to India, not to mention from a winning position, was disappointing enough.

The eventual early exit from the tournament has made it worse, and if there’s anything that can pull them any lower, it would be another loss to Ireland on their way out. If there was any mathematical possibility of them qualifying for the Super 8s, it was washed away with the rain on Friday morning at the same venue.

Pakistan player comments ahead of the match – Haris Rauf, Pakistan pacer: “Obviously, you make mistakes and see those mistakes and then obviously we try to reduce the mistakes that we have made. We have T20 players, and we believe in ourselves. We will try to play good cricket in the future.”

Ireland (Team News) 

Ireland may not have been the favorites to qualify for the next round in this World Cup anyway, but after having lost to Canada and missed out on an opportunity to beat the USA, they stare at the possibility of ending their World Cup campaign on a winless note.

Ireland player comments ahead of the match – Mark Adair, Ireland pacer: “You arrive here and you’re thinking, oh, we’re in New York, we’re in Florida, it’s going to be sunshine, it’s going to be amazing. But Newark was pretty tough. I think the travel and stuff wasn’t ideal. Obviously where we were staying in relation to the city was good for us if you want to go exploring or be a bit of a tourist. But obviously not ideal not seeing the ground in New York before the first game. Not ideal but again we move, we’re used to sort of doing things on the fly and just getting on with it really. Unfortunately, the results didn’t go our way, but I feel like we’re better poised to put in two strong performances here in Florida.”

Pitch Report: Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida

The wicket here has been a mystery, in this World Cup has been kinder to pacers and the sinner. All three games here have been won by chasing sides. Add to that a slight chance of rainfall before the official start time, and the captain winning the toss should have no hesitation in opting to field first to make the most of the conditions.
